Abi­gail Harding

“My work has macabre, fan­tasy and sci-fi el­e­ments,” says Abi­gail. The artist has al­ways found art an im­por­tant means of com­mu­ni­ca­tion: “I like to ex­per­i­ment, work with mul­ti­ple medi­ums, learn more about them. Test my­self and the con­cepts I have in mind.”

Abi­gail likes to cre­ate emo­tional plat­forms and sto­ries in her work full of sym­bolic in­flu­ences. “They are chaotic, dark, macabre, dreamy. I draw out emo­tional in­ten­sity in my sub­jects, the pas­sion I feel, I de­pict them in a warped el­e­gance.” An avid comics reader, Abi­gail loves the mar­riage be­tween lit­er­a­ture and art this medium of­fers. “It’s some­thing that re­ally helps me tell the sto­ries in my own work. And lis­ten­ing to mu­sic helps me with build­ing at­mos­phere.”
